Kyle Walker Talks about his Manchester United Link

Tottenham right back Kyle Walker has responded to transfer rumors linking him with a move away from White Hart Lane which make it seem unlikely that he will leave soon.

Reports have emerged that Manchester United and Manchester City are said to be interested in Walker and defensive partner Danny Rose. Jose Mourinho is yet to establish his first choice defence at Old Trafford and is set to be searching the market for a centre back and left back.
